Is there a translation to plain English? I am a very plain speaker! Embarassed

So will Nick get a second one for the next half of the journey?

Slappy's right. One helmet per journey. The only reason I haven't added the other 5000 miles yet, rendering it "10000mi (Round Trip)", is because I'd like to see if I can knock him off course a couple more times. Furthermore, he hasn't actually travelled back yet so it would just be deceptive.

But, if he happens to ever get home again, the hat and miles stop. Later, if he decides to make another journey from home, that's a second hat.

À la Broda Michael.

As for that whole co-baiters spiel, I won't even pretend to understand it.

Here's the latest from Cairo.

Five THOUSAND miles? WOW!

Amazing work!

Nick, Puchong is a suburb of Kuala Lumpur. It's unlikely that Matty lives in Puchong - that's just where Telekom Malaysia, the country's main ISP, is registered. It's more than likely he's from some other place in Kuala Lumpur ...

Still, 5000 miles is 5000 miles. Well done!

It's possible, I suppose. My own IP address resolves to an unicorporated rural area outside of the city.

Remember about our little talk about Czech Republic? Do you even know how unpleasant place is Czech Republic for little malaysian lad? Laughing

From Cairo it's just a hop, skip and a jump to Darfur.....I'm just saying...

Congrats on the big safari.

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 9:14 pm

^^ But not before he navigates the streets of Khartoum.

Maybe I'll send a yellow cab to pick him up.

I have to say, I really commend this man's optimism. Then again, I suppose it is a lot easier when you're not the one on safari.

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your email.

It’s only that I am worried of what may be going through Douglas’s mind. You know, human mind is unpredictable. He might be thinking that I used my superiority over him to dump him in a foreign country, redundant.

Anyway, I have written to him, letting him to know that after the drizzling, comes the rain, and after the rain, comes the sun shine. I had encouraged him to try his best to make himself comfortable, no matter the distance and loneliness.

Meanwhile, were you able to make headway?

Please inform.

Sincerely,

G. M@tthews, Esq.

He's also back to his verbose, debonair self.

Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 4:50 am

I think he's drunk.

Matty wrote:

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for this soul saving information.

However, your information sounded like a fresh palm wine, full of sweetness but it is lacking substance. FRESH PALM WINE: Dumping the idea of satellite phone that never be. FULL OF SWEETNESS: That you had made your booking. LACKING SUBSTANCE: You refused to make the flight schedule known to me.

Vice versa, I will rely on Douglas for your flight schedule; though it’s not too right. He should be relying on me for information, not I, relying on him.

May the Lord watch over you.

Sincerely,

G. M@tthews, Esq.

@devil_woman - For example, take the Dickboi bait. I was involved in the co-bait for many months, but the Abidjan safari was not because of my character's story. I did make some contributions in the planning, and paid for a couple of phone calls to him to help keep him stuck in Abidjan longer. But I decided it wasn't quite enough in my mind to take a hat, even for one of the legs. Yeah, I spent money on the b@stard, but cats don't count the number of hats. Smile

One or two of the other baiters told me to take a hat, so you can see co-baits can be gray sometimes.

@Nick - You have a real pet there! Very Happy

I think what he's trying to say to you is, "You have to be nicer to me." He's standing in the rain now, and doesn't want the coming flood. Very Happy

Oh, yeah, and he thinks his guy in Cairo is stupider than he is. He could be right about that one. Very Happy

Slappy I agree it tis the pain we cause them that is important. Not of course that I am a sadist. Twisted Evil

Oh God! Not you too! I've had enough slam poetry from the lad to last me for decades.

It appears my stalling tactics have gone unchallenged.

Quote:

Dear Friend,

Just to inform you that I had a long and friendly telephone chat with Dougl@s. He did confirm to me that you had booked your flight for Monday 7th September 2009.

Hiowever, he was sad that his hotel internet network was too poor for several hours now. He asked me to relay to you, through whichever means, that before the sun dawns today, he will send to you, your hotel reservation because he had already booked a suite for you.

I need to go to sleep now. Its 2:30am.I kept awake to communicate this message to you. I am not sure I will remain awake for your reply.

I will reply to you when I am up from bed.

Remain Blessed.

Sincerely,

G. M@tthews, Esq.

Naturally, I have every intention of confirming the reservation.

Cant wait for the next chapter Razz

Extremely well done, NicktheCop Twisted Evil

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:39 am

Be sure to cancel at least 2 hours in advance or mugu will have to pay for the room.

or is it 24 hrs?

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:46 am

Ana: All in good time.

Catcher: Much appreciated.

Jose: Why cancel when I can have him keep paying for both rooms even after I don't make it? You know, I've pretty much got everything sorted out, I should be there in just a few hours, tomorrow latest. In case you haven't noticed, I love stalling lads when their time is money. Sure, sometimes it backfires (like with Mikey's third safari), but I don't think this guy'll just suddenly give up with no warning and grab the next bus back to Malaysia.

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:51 am

I like the way you think! Very Happy

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:54 am

^^ Back to sender (as soundboard conference lad would say).

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 6:54 pm

My hotel room is apparently booked. Great.

Dear Mr J0hn W D,

Sir,.

I'm highly sorry for not replying you ,I couldn't access my mail because of network problems.I didn't plan to stay more than 7days here following all the arrangement that has been puting in place to finalise this transaction on your arrival.Now base on the details of your shedule ,I committed to wait for you and please make sure that you are specific with your arranged arrival .This is to inform that by tomorrow I will be very busy with storage /diplomatic vault officers to finish the paper works of this transaction,for they have limited working time/hour because of the Ramadan.Here they work on sundays.and it is 7pm .

Meanwhile the below is your hotel reservation numbers
J0hn G@cy,.Res No 2427245
Cairo Xxxxxx Xxxxxx

Cxxxxx xx xxx • CAIRO, 11511 • EGYPT
Front Desk: +20-2-xxxxxxx • Fax: +20-2-xxxxxxx

LEGENDS AND LUXURY ON THE BANKS OF THE NILE Standing on the site of the historic Xxxxx Hotel, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Cairo is a symbol of modern style. You’ll walk to the Egyptian Museum, the Cairo Opera House and the Cairo Tower, and the Citadel and Old Cairo are a few minutes away. No visit to the capital is complete without seeing the Giza Pyramids, 25 kilometres (16 miles) away.
As I mention to you in our last message .Arrival at the Cairo Intern Airport there are Tourist police on white uniform that will put you in an airport taxi(mecedez benz) to the hotel in case wedidn't meet at the airport it cost only 150egyptain pound(25usd).

Finally for the photo issue ,It is quite unfortunate that I didn't come with any of my photos but I will realy try if I'm chanced but if not we will then see face to face(live).,

May God almigty give you safe flight to Cairo.

Thank You ,

Dougl@s M.

I'm very busy today, but I'll contact the hotel as soon as I have time to make sure the room is booked and paid for.

Does your plane divert due to 'bomb threat' astrological disturbances or must it wait until sunset so not to defile Ramadam?

Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 7:40 pm

^^ The plane's going to be fine, too bad my visa's invalid. I foreshadowed this with the lad early on in the bait so that it doesn't come as too much of a surprise to him.
